My Gene System - Chapter 82

A massive skirmish happened between Emma and the Magma Golem. And in just a blink of an eye, Emma received a strong counterattack came from the monster.

“I can’t breathe…” She said in a weak tone as she was really hurt from that attack since it was directed to her stomach. On top of that, the monsters contained huge weights, which means that weight created an impact.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

She was rolling to the ground couple of times, feeling the strong heat coming from the surface and burning some parts of her clothes.

Of course, Riku had a worried expression on his face as he couldn’t determine if Emma was still alive after receiving that attack. In his opinion, if there was floating health power over Emma’s head, everything gonna be easy for him.

Tch!

He clicked his tongue, then immediately went to the location where Emma was sent. It was surrounded by thick smoke, at the same time, the sun was looked near to arise. If this happens, he was sure that he would be having a hard time fighting this monster.

As soon as he arrived at the place. Emma was lying and rolling on the ground, enduring the severe pain she experiencing right now. Some blood was spilling out of her mouth, and her stomach had huge bruises. It appeared that the monster’s body was releasing so much that added to deal damage on its opponent.

“Emma, are you good?” He stopped asking her, knowing that this woman hadn’t had the ability to open her mouth.

The monster was approaching their location and for some reason, its speed increased a little bit. “This is bad! That monster would reach us in no time!” He hurriedly said, then carried Emma out of the area, in order to protect her from the upcoming attack.

With all of his strength, he succeeded in carrying her and now running in the curvy area in this mountain. To put it simply, Riku planned to get back in the land since there was a high chance that there was a place where they could hide.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

However, that wasn’t easy to make as the monster was aggressively chasing them while utilizing its perilous skill.

The ground was crumbling eventually making a two meters crack in width that looked like heading to their location. The magma golem used its [Avalanche] skill and the main reason why he was started to stumble.

“What the-!” He quickly took a glance at his behind, seeing a sharp heated spiky surface aiming at his back. To avoid that attack, he didn’t hesitate to jump to the left side.

Bam!

Although Emma had a sexy body and doesn’t look had heavyweight when you are looking at her, still, that was the opposite. Because of her bloody training, her muscles developed so its means she was heavier than the ordinary woman.

Their bodies were coated by mud, the reason behind this was the thick fog earlier. Moreover, Riku noticed Emma lost consciousness which was really bad for their current situation.

At this point, the only thing he can do was to fight back, cause if he won’t, Emma would easily die.

“I don’t have options here, I have to fight before it’s too late.” He muttered seriously, then immediately pushed himself into a standing-up position to face this monster.

In his mind, he had one chance to live so if died here, it was impossible for him to meet again his friend, father, and fiance. Which he was hoping for that time wouldn’t come.

[Fire claw]

Without making any second thought, Riku choose to pick this skill. Why? He knew if he just fought this monster with all the martial arts he learned and used the sword positioned on his waist, still, it was impossible for him to win this fight. To put it simply, the monster’s body was obviously made from magma so once he attacks the monster, probably he was the one who would receive the damage, not the monster.

In his opinion, picking the [Fire claw] would be having a big benefit for this fight. Since this was the only skill that he had that could match the fire element.

Even though he was confused if he could annihilate this monster, still, he immediately charged towards the monster to lure it away from Emma.

Well, that was quite a decision for this situation. Once Emma regained her strength and consciousness, it was sure that she’ll help him to fight the monster.

_

To begin the fight between Riku and Magma Golem. When the distance was around twelve meters, the monster took a piece of rounded magma on its body and throw it directly to Riku. By doing this, the monster guaranteed that it can dominate in mid-range combat.

Tch!

He already expected that this scenario would come, however, receiving an attack from that range was truly annoying.

In his position, Riku was planning to swing his left arm to cut rock that rapidly headed to his location. “I shouldn’t receive any severe injuries here since our expedition just got started.” He said in a deep tone, waiting for the right time to swing his firing claws.

Swish!

The rounded rocks split into three while the steaming smoke helped him to conceal his presence.

Magma Golem suddenly paused for a couple of seconds, after it couldn’t determine the exact location of that man.

Swoosh!

When Riku noticed that the monster was looking for him. It was the time he revealed his presence and dashed towards the monster with a flashy pace.

The monster was looked surprised after the man appeared in the place where the Magma Golem wasn’t expecting. However, it was enough for the monster to retreat in this bloody clash as it also charged at Riku’s direction.

Based on the monster’s movements and expression, Golem wanted to finish him in one massive blow.

Rawr!

It groaned to show that the monster wasn’t afraid to face this human even he had possessed one of the dangerous weapons for the monster.

As soon as he met the right distance, he lowered his guard, and unexpectedly stopped for a good reason.

Swoosh!

The monster’s heated huge arms passed over his head. It appeared Riku predicted the monster wouldn’t hesitate to attack him. Moreover, he was narrowly looking at the monster along with a malicious smile on his face.

He faked raising his body to find out if the monster would repeat the attack it does to Emma.

Swish!

And once again, Golem spun at 360° to make a follow-up attack. But the massive arm just smashes the air, releasing a strong force that could blow all the things behind him.

‘I already anticipated that you’ll do that attack. You’re so unlucky that you attack the wrong opponent.’ He uttered to his mind. After that, he used the strength he gathered on his legs to increase the damage.

Swish!

He quickly swung his left arm upwards, using all the strength that he had just to kill this monster and finish their main job here.

“I’m going to kill you, bastard!” He couldn’t hold his emotion, knowing that he was fighting a tough monster.

And all of a sudden, his fire claws were penetrating inside the monster’s body. Seemingly the fire given by his claws was enough to melt the solid rocks.

Rawr!

The monster groaned in pain, wanting to remove the claws hitting its core that could kill the monster in an instant. To do that, Golem struggled and splashed the magma on its body.

“I won’t let you do that.”

Riku was persistent as he was enduring the pain given by the magma. Steaming smoke was hitting to face, but he used another hand to push his claws much deeper.

Zing!

And all of a sudden, yellow-orange magical light occurred around him. At this point, one thing went to his mind, that the monster was using its explosive skills didn’t bother even the monster would bomb itself.

“Magma toss?”

Riku easily guessed what the monster trying to do. So he quickly made a huge distance from this monster, then headed to Emma’s location since there was a chance she will reach by this massive explosion.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

“What the fuck? The monster trying to blow itself? That’s a desperate move.” He said in a hurried tone, then took Emma to the place where they could safely hide and avoid the tremendous explosion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a few were moments, the explosion transpired all over the place and it shook the surface.

He was leaning his back on the solid rock, trying to regain his strength as soon as possible since the sun was ready to lighten up the entire forest.

Huff… Huff… Huff…

__

A couple of minutes had passed, the sunlight could feel around the area, aside from that, the continuous explosion vanished. The chirping of the birds and the sound of wind blowing the dried leaves filled the area. It was a sign that this place started to get better.

Moreover, she slowly opened up her eyes, looking at the place where the firing monster’s orb was located.

“Huh? Huh? Huh? Why there’s valuable core out there!”
